MCLEAN, VA – Novetta, a leader in advanced analytics technology, today released a groundbreaking whitepaper analyzing the biometric performance of Amazon Rekognition, Amazon’s machine learning-based face recognition service. Cloud-based face recognition services from Amazon Web Service (AWS), Face++, and Microsoft – as well as dozens of smaller start-ups – are significantly expanding the range of applications in which face recognition can be deployed. Based on its relatively low cost, ease of implementation, and use of deep learning, Amazon Rekognition has gained significant traction in government and commercial applications. Novetta provides new insights into Amazon Rekognition performance, including: Against relatively small databases,…

The launch of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Rekognition, in November 2016, represented a significant milestone in the market based on its negligible start-up costs, volume-based pricing model, and streamlined application programming interfaces. Cloud-based face recognition services, like Rekognition, have the potential to complement or disrupt traditional face recognition solutions used for security, fraud detection, and identification applications, such as watchlisting. This whitepaper presents results from two separate performance evaluations of Rekognition – first comparing Rekognition performance to face recognition tools commonly used in entry-level face processing applications, then comparing Rekognition performance to cloud services from Microsoft and Kairos.
